Fudge doesn’t get easier than this! This Oreo Fudge comes together with only 4 ingredients, and less than 15 minutes of hands on time. This fudge is perfect for any chocoholic.

I will pretty much never turn down a piece of fudge. It’s perfect year round, but it works especially well on a cookie platter.
And this Oreo Fudge is at the top of the list of easy recipes. Only 4 ingredients, 5 if you count the optional salt, it really could’t be easier.
With Oreo cookies not only on the top, but mixed in throughout, this is a chocolate lover’s dream come true.
Ingredients
- Chocolate Chips: This recipe is so easy because it uses chocolate chips! I like semi-sweet – the fudge is very sweet, so milk chocolate chips would make it overly sweet.
- Sweetened Condensed Milk: Make sure you are using sweetened condensed milk, not evaporated milk.
- Vanilla Extract: A good vanilla extract will give fudge good flavor.
- Salt: This is an optional ingredient, but I like to add a pinch of salt to counter a bit of the sweet.
- Oreos: We are using the mini Oreos for this recipe. They are usually pretty easy to find. If you can’t find mini Oreos, you could use full size cookies, but you will need to chop them up to make them work.
How to Make Oreo Fudge
STEP 1: Reserve 25 of the Oreos for topping, and chop up the rest. I like to cut them in fourths, or in halves.
STEP 2: Combine the chocolate chips and the sweetened condensed milk in a large, microwave safe bowl. Stir them together.
STEP 3: Microwave the mixture for 30 seconds, then stir. Microwave another 30 seconds, and stir again. If most of the chocolate chips are melted at this point, continue to stir until they are all melted.
STEP 4: Add in the vanilla, salt (if using) and chopped cookies. Stir them all together.
STEP 5: Press the fudge into an 8-inch baking dish. Lining the pan with foil will make it super easy to get out of the pan.
STEP 6: Take your reserved Oreos and press them into the top of the fudge. Refrigerate the fudge for 2 hours, then cut into pieces.
Tips and Tricks
18 oz of chocolate chips will give you a pretty firm fudge. If you want a softer fudge, you can even go down to 12 oz.
You don’t want to overheat the chocolate, so make sure you are stirring well in-between each interval.
If you don’t want to use the microwave, I would suggest using a double boiler (or making one yourself).
You will want to keep the pieces pretty small, as the fudge is very sweet and rich.
I store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature. The cookies will get soft, but the fudge will stay good for quite some time.

Oreo Fudge
Ingredients
- 18 oz. semi sweet chocolate chips (about 3 cups)
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- pinch of salt
- 50 mini Oreo cookies divided
Instructions
- Reserve 25 of the Oreos. Cut the remaining cookies into halves or quarters.
- Line an 8-inch baking dish with foil, making sure the edges extend over the sides.
- Place the chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in a large microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds on high, then stir. Microwave again on high for another 30 seconds, then stir well. Continue to microwave in 10 second increments, stirring well after each time. Once the chocolate is mostly melted, continue to stir, as the residual heat will continue to melt. Stir until the chocolate is smooth.
- Stir in the vanilla and the chopped Oreos. The mixture will be thick, but you should be able to stir everything together.
- Spread the fudge into the prepared dish. Top with the reserved mini Oreos, arranged in 5 rows of 5.
- Refrigerate the fudge until firm, about 2 hours. Cut into 25 squares to serve.

My family are craving for a fudge after we bought some at a candy shop. This recipe is so easy! 🙂 Will be making of this and will post on my daughters blog. Thank you!

This was awesome! Instead of mini oreos I used regular ones and made oreo fudge cookies a with cupcake pan. So good! Thanks!
Linnea says
Tried this recipe and it failed horribly. it would not harden into fudge even when I let it sit in the fridge for over 24 hours. There is simply not enough fat in it. It requires some marshmellow cream and you should use EVAPORATED milk–not condensed (these are two totally different items…)
Deborah says
@Linnea, I’m so sorry it didn’t work out for you! I’m not sure what happened, but I make this recipe often, and it always works for me. Did you use sweetened condensed milk or evaporated? The recipe is correct – you should be using sweetened condensed. If you used evaporated, I could see why it wouldn’t set up. I’m so sorry it didn’t work for you, though.

I'm going to mark this as a treat to make for next year! I'm like you with fudge… can't resist it, so I can't make it unless I am giving most of it away!

This fudge really does sound incredibly easy. Never made fudge before, but this recipe is something do-able for me, a girl who got over her baking fear a bit with (boxed) brownie mix the other day. 😛 Thanks for sharing.
